    The reports of non ethanol vs. ethanol seem to follow what you found. Better mileage on the non ethanol. The problem lies in the fact that the non is not readily available in most places.

    Ballpark for most 998 RT's is about 31--so you are not far off.

    A lot of your fuel mileage has to do with the dance that your right wrist plays with the loud grip!
    Use fuel without ethanol if you can get it... Slow down a bit, run the windshield in a lowered position (helps with the aero-drag...), and you'll be doing about the best as you can!

    Default All of the above...

    many variables but you are on the lower side. Could check a few things like o2 sensor, air filter fuel brand etc....
